the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n first_o that_o he_o work_v by_o small_a even_o the_o small_a mean_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o wonder_v when_o effect_n exceed_v all_o visible_a cause_n as_o it_o show_v the_o great_a power_n of_o god_n when_o he_o stop_v great_a mean_n from_o do_v any_o thing_n when_o he_o cause_v man_n to_o labour_n in_o the_o very_a fire_n that_o be_v to_o toil_v and_o sweat_v themselves_o to_o the_o utmost_a for_o very_a vanity_n that_o be_v without_o any_o hope_v for_o issue_n or_o advantage_n some_o labour_n in_o the_o fire_n for_o very_a vanity_n because_o all_o they_o get_v by_o their_o labour_n be_v worth_a nothing_o but_o other_o may_v be_v say_v to_o labour_v in_o the_o fire_n for_o very_a vanity_n because_o with_o all_o their_o labour_n they_o can_v

do_v appear_v now_o in_o do_v great_a thing_n without_o the_o appearance_n or_o external_a concurrence_n of_o any_o thing_n the_o lord_n turn_v whole_a nation_n sometime_o by_o nothing_o thing_n be_v
